About this Event
Willow weaving expert and sculptor Gina returns with a series of workshops this year. Under Gina’s guided instruction, you will create your own sculpture such as a dragonfly and obelisk.
You may enjoy following this up with our Advanced Willow Workshop on 8th August.
This is the workshop you need to do if you have not tried willow weaving before. It is a very popular workshop, we have been running for many years and we get lots of positive feed back. The second workshop is aimed at those who have tried and enjoyed this Willow Weaving workshop this year or in a previous years and wish to develope their skills a little further making animals such as a deer or goose (loose duck). You may wish to book a place following this course.
